Administration in Ancient India as Recorded in the Inscriptions: 1st - 3rd Centuries CE

By: Neel, Chandra

When we try to contemplate the political and administrative history of Ancient India during the period between the 1st and 3rd centuries CE, the inscriptional records furnish fairly a good deal of interesting and important information of the period that experienced continuous swerving occurring at this front. The authentic information rendered by the inscriptions in most of the cases are, at times, extremely helpful in solving the knotty problems, especially in the reconstruction of the history of this epoch. The epigraphic records throw welcome light on the titles or adjectives prefixed to the names of the rulers that not only defined their personalities, but also stood as synonyms of their stature in the political world. Smaller and weaker kings generally satisfied themselves with smaller titles, whereas the powerful kings were adorned with big and heavy titles. This practice is noticed to have been adopted by the kings from very early times as it was discovered to have played an effective role in the smooth management of the administration. This book unveils the information gathered from the inscriptions of the era under reappraisal regarding the titles, hierarchy and duties assigned to the officers appointed by the royal head for the placid functioning of the administration within a kingdom.
